The greenlight has been given for hundreds of homes to be built in a Nottinghamshire town. Planning permission has been secured for 400 properties to be constructed as part of a new housing development in Stonebridge Lane, Market Warsop.
The 40-acre site, known as Stonebridge Fields, will become the latest development in the region by housebuilders David Wilson Homes and Barratt Homes. It will provide a selection of two to five bedroom homes.
Of the new homes to be available at the development, 248 properties will be constructed by David Wilson Homes East Midlands, whilst 152 of the homes will be built and provided by Barratt Homes North Midlands. Out of these properties, 80 will be classified as affordable homes.

The developers will be putting more than £1.2 million into local community facilities and infrastructure as part of the approved plan. Contributions of more than £560,000 will go towards local primary school improvements, over £215,000 to healthcare, £368,000 towards the maintenance of open space, and an additional £55,000 to public open space improvements at Carr Lane Park.
Mark Cotes, managing director at Barratt Homes North Midlands, said: “Being given the green light to begin work on this exciting development moves us closer to delivering more properties to eager homebuyers in the Nottinghamshire area.
“Whilst we are looking forward to beginning the build, our focus is now on processing the finer details and presenting our plans for the site to local homebuyers. This work will supply another boost to the region and provide a new and exciting opportunity to those looking to take the next step on the property ladder.”
Hedgehog highways and homes, swift bricks, bird boxes, bat boxes and insect habitats are to be implemented across the site to assist environmental efforts. Homebuyers will be a short distance away from Sherwood Forest, as well as The Carrs public park, which features two ponds with wildlife, a children’s play area, and a leisure area.
John Reddington, managing director at David Wilson Homes East Midlands, said: “We are very much looking forward to providing a special development which has been meticulously designed by our expert team to meet the needs of local homebuyers.
“At David Wilson Homes, we pride ourselves on our placemaking values, and strive to create developments which residents can feel proud to call home, amongst communities that promote happiness, health and well-being.”
